I like non-stick pans too but they don't make very many non-stick induction ready pans. I recently bought a second carbon steel pan. It was at Macy's marked down to 20 bucks. It was an offer I couldn't refuse.

What could be more perfect? These pans are popular in Europe - you would think that they would sell like hotcakes in the states but that hasn't panned out yet. Americans are stubborn in their ways.
